What Happened To Les Miserables '?

“You don’t get harmony when everybody sings the same note.” Said by Doug Floyd. And his statement is so true when it comes to Les Miserables and how the singing ruined the movie and lost many eyes. There were parts in the movie that probably shouldn’t have been sung and they were which ruined the whole thing. The beginning of the movie should not have been sung because that was deep when Javert and Jean were signing when Jean was going to be set free of jail. Another one was when Marius and his friends were signing about fighting the Revolution and what they were planning on doing, that should have been discussed instead of sung.

And it was all sung, which made things even worse and less meaningful. Once Cosette and Marius got married, Jean went to that one church to live his last few minutes he had in life before he died. And it was not really sad when the whole time he was dying he was singing. “Forgive me all my trespasses, and take me to your glory” ("Les Miserables: The Libretto - Act I") said in his dying breath by Jean. This to mean that he wants to be forgiven, for all the sins he has committed and yet he decides to sing the whole thing. Jean in his dying form, tell Cosette and Marius to forgive him, to give him hope to move on to a better part of life after he has done all that he can to do what is right. He comes to terms that he became the best man he could be through all that he has done to protect Cosette and help those around him. His time finally came for him to move on, and they made him sing it like he was some psycho who had escaped the mental hospital. He should not have sung that, because it was meaningful with all the things that Jean was able to accomplish with the help of God. “The truth that once was spoken, to love another person, is to see the face of God!” ("Les Miserables: The Libretto - Act I") said by Jean and the all dead chorus that were singing. This was the last part of the movie about how they were saying that for all the salvation that Jean has done for others, he is allowed into the house of God. But because it was all sung, it sucked hardcore. It ruined the words, the flow of the meaning that was meant to represent something so meaningful and powerful that it just went down the toilet. In the aftermath, the movie could have been so much better if there was no singing
